The pie charts below compare the proportion of energy capacity in gigawatts (GW) in 2015 with the predictions for 2040.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Model answer by Lifestyle Training Centre

The provided two pie charts compare the percentage of energy produced in 2015 with the projected figures for 2040, across various sources including fossil fuels, wind, nuclear, solar, and other renewables. The energy capacity is delineated in gigawatts (GW).

Overall, it is evident that fossil fuels and other renewables remain the major energy contributors throughout the given period. Moreover, solar and wind energy are predicted to increase substantially in the future.

The aggregate capacity in 2015 was 6.688 GW, which is expected to almost double to 11.678 GW by 2040. Fossil fuels covered 64% of the energy capacity, which will undergo a considerable downturn to a mere 44% by the year 2040. Other renewables and nuclear, however, are expected to only experience a marginal decline in energy production: the former from 23% in 2015 to 21% by 2040, and the latter from 6% in 2015 to 5% in 2040.

Conversely, both solar and wind energy are estimated to soar remarkably – solar from 2% in 2015 to a staggering 18% by 2040, and wind energy from 5% in 2015 to 12% by 2040.

Music expenses, 5%, were evenly split at 5% between both genders. Electronic equipment constituted 5%, with women at 1% and men at 10%.

Among children, 39% of income went to music—boys 38%, girls 40%. Conversely, food received the smallest share at 10% (boys 9%, girls 11%). Electronic equipment constituted 23% of expenditures, with boys at 18% and girls at 5%. Videos were accounted for 12%, split with boys at 18% and girls at 17%.

The given diagram meticulously illustrates the various steps that are involved in the conversion of rainwater into potable water in one of the Australian towns.

In general, the procedure encompasses the gathering of rainwater from rooftops, directing it for filtration, storing it underground, conducting treatment, and ultimately distributing it to households for drinking purpose.

Initially, rainwater is harvested from the rooftops of individual households with the help of attached gutters. It is then directed through interconnected drains to a water filtration system in order to remove any contaminants. Once the rain water is filtered, the same is sent to a designated underground storage facility.

The concluding phase involves transferring the stored water to another storage facility for the purpose of chemical treatment. After undergoing the necessary chemical treatment, the water is ready to be consumed. It is then distributed to each household for the purpose of consumption through pipes and fittings.

Sample answer by Lifestyle Training Centre:

The presented bar chart meticulously outlines the global sales trajectories for four distinct categories of digital entertainment: Mobile phone games, online games, console games, and handheld games—spanning from 2000 to 2006. The monetary values are denominated in billion dollars.

Overall, it is patently evident that sales for handheld games, mobile phone games, and online games experienced a pronounced ascension throughout the seven-year period. In stark contrast, console games consistently declined in sales over consecutive years. Notably, handheld games unequivocally dominated the digital gaming market among the four categories.

Zooming in, the sales of Handheld games peaked just below $12 billion in 2000, incrementally ascending to approximately $18 billion by 2006. Online games, introduced in 2001 with initial sales below $0.5 billion, underwent a meteoric upturn, reaching around $9 billion by 2006. Similarly, Mobile phone games, emerging in 2002 with around $1 billion in sales, demonstrated marked escalation, achieving approximately $7 billion in sales by 2006.

In contradistinction, Console games, despite an initial sale of around $6 billion in 2000, exhibited a discernible decrement year on year. Although sales stabilised around $5 billion in 2003 and 2004, they subsequently plummeted to around $3 billion by 2006—almost half of the initial sale.
